The Great White Pelican is a large waterbird known for its distinctive long beak and large body. It typically measures about 4 to 6 feet in length and has a wingspan of up to 10 feet. These pelicans are primarily found in shallow lakes, rivers, and coastal regions across Europe, Asia, and Africa. They are social birds, often seen in groups, and are known for their impressive flying abilities.
Great White Pelicans are primarily fish eaters, using their large bills to scoop up prey from the water. They often hunt in cooperative groups, working together to herd fish into shallow areas. Their plumage is mostly white, with some grayish tones, and they have a distinctive yellow-orange pouch under their beak.
